[Ah well. He didn't expect this would be easily resolved by bandying about the traveler's name alone. That he hasn't been attacked or outright killed is probably enough of a success for now.]
Quite right. I was out of line. [He says that much with ease, giving Xiao a sweeping bow.] Many thanks, o' exalted one. That opportunity pleases me more than you know. It's more than I deserve.
[Even now he can't help teasing a bit, though he does spare a friendly little wave for Aether's dear friend as he turns to go.]
Very well. I'm sure he'll be delighted to hear we're starting over. So tell him I tried my best, will you?
[ Give it time, Vanitas. Who knows, maybe next time they'll share a cell together while being turned inside-out! As it is, words alone are not going to sway Xiao any time soon. Actions always speak louder.
Xiao crouches down and picks up the 'offering' as Vanitas turns to leave, yellow eyes sternly watching him as he heads off. Personally he has no desire to ever see the other man again, but he also knows that Aether deeply values his friends.
They'll meet again. Question is just how well that meeting will go. ]
